Further information:
Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire. Dispose of fire debris
and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions:
Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, section
8. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/aerosol.

Environmental precautions:
Do not empty into drains. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil.

Methods for cleaning up or taking up:


For large amounts: Pump off product.
For residues: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder).
Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations.
Neutralize with a solution of 5 - 10 % Sodium carbonate, 0,2 - 2 % detergents and 90 - 95 % water.

7. Handling and Storage

Handling
Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the processing machines. Ensure thorough ventilation of
stores and work areas. Avoid aerosol formation. When handling heated product, vapours of the
product should be ventilated, and respiratory protection used. Wear respiratory protection when
spraying. Danger of bursting when sealed gastight. Protect against moisture. Clean up
contamination as soon as they occur. Provide basic employee training to prevent/minimize
exposures. Products freshly manufactured from isocyanates can contain incompletely reacted
isocyanates and other dangerous substances, e.g. primary aromatic amines. Industrial cleaning with
aprotic polar solvents (meeting the IUPAC definition) may lead to formation of hazardous primary
aromatic amine (>0,1%). See Section 11.
Protection against fire and explosion:
No special precautions necessary.

Storage
Keep away from water. Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Segregate from acids and bases.

Suitable materials for containers: Carbon steel (Iron), High density polyethylene (HDPE),
Low density polyethylene (LDPE), tinned carbon steel (Tinplate), Stainless steel 1.4301 (V2)
Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-
ventilated place. Protect against moisture. Formation of CO2 and build up of pressure possible.
Danger of bursting when sealed gastight.

Storage stability:
Protect against moisture.
If moisture enters isocyanate containers, CO2 forms and pressure builds up.
